WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
BIG YEAR – The world’s largest 100 law firms by revenue enjoyed a robust 2018. Dan Packel reports that total revenue for the Global 100, published by Law.com affiliate The American Lawyer, increased a vigorous 8.1% over the past year, a step up from 2017’s already healthy 6.7% growth and a showing that dwarfs the 2.8% and 3.1% growth from the two preceding years. The 100 firms in 2018 brought in a collective $114.2 billion, fueled by mergers, rapid growth among Chinese law firms, and a healthy American market for legal services.
